Another new gunner

Hello AGN. Long time looker, first time writer. I got into PCP guns around 2015. I’ve have the advantage of some local air gunners. With that, I have gotten to not only shoot but have bought and sold a few different guns. I’m more of a pester than a paper puncher. For the most part. So after going through a few guns and trying them, I like the bull pup. So my go to gun is the Huben in .22 cal. It shoulders well for me, and I like the adjustability and quick follow up. So much I have 3 of them. So if those are not enough, we got to have pistols too. That consists or 2 PP700SA. And with all of the knowledge on AGN that I read. I seen a post about some new VA grips a member got for his gun. Now I have a Crosman 1701p. Because I wanted something quiet low power to shoot in my house and the hotel. ( when I travel for work which is a lot ) Then not to mention any names, but they is another member on here that wants a perfect ONE HOLE GROUP. 😞😞 Well with that. I now have a HW44 in .22 and a HW 44 .177 on the way from AOA. Should be here Wednesday. Far as a one hole group from me, believe it will be a while. I have a Air Venturi that I bought off Addison a few years back. A member here. Great guy, held it for the week for our work schedules and we met half way. Also a spritech ( that I’ve not use yet ) and a bottle for the field. Well enough about myself. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. Stay warm and safe.
 
Welcome to Air Gun Nation. Nice oasis on the Net. Nice choice in pistols, the 1701p is a surprisingly nice shooter, seems to like about any 7 gr wadcutter pellet. Mine even shoots the cheap RWS Hobbies well. The HW44 .177 likes the Baracuda Match .177 10.65 452 head size. No experience with the HW44 .22 but try the H&N Field Target Trophies 14.66, all my HW 22's seem to shoot them well.

Thanks @maxtrouble, I will have to try the Baracuda Match pellets. The Crosman I’ve been shooting the Baracuda FT. @rsfrid spoke of. As far as the HW44 in .22. It has eaten everything I put through it. Even the RWS Hobbies. I’m hoping the .177 will be the same. I’ve only got red dots for my pistols right at the moment. The way these guns shoot. Looks like glass is in the near future. I am limited in the house for distance like most. I’ve been shooting at 8 yards, but can get about 14. My eyes and a red dot, no. So I guess it’s off to the scope market.

Try the Bugbuster 3-12power as it focuses down to 3 yds and has side focus. I have one on my HW44 and it is great for closeup shooting. Also, I found my HW44 177 loves the Chinese QYS match (green box) from Amazon.
